How do I submit a resume?

Each job posting you view will have a button at the bottom that will allow you to apply using our online response form. Once you are brought to the response form, be sure to choose a source. This lets us know how you heard about us. Please also fill in the other required information. Once you hit the submit button, your resume will become part of our searchable database. Submitting your resume more than once is not necessary. We will contact you if/when your skills and qualifications match one of our openings.

What if I do not have a resume? Can I fill out an employment application?

You can fill out an online application form by using the link to our online application on the search page. Your application will be entered into our searchable database just as a resume would. We will contact you if/when your skills and qualifications match one of our openings.

What is a source and why am I required to select one?

The source lets us know how you heard about us. There are two source drop down menus. The first drop down is a list of high-level categories like Advertisements, Job Boards, Job Fairs, etc. The second indicates the specific source, i.e. the name of the advertisement, job board or job fair. Thanks for your help with this.

Why can't I submit my resume via U.S. Mail or FAX?

We receive thousands of resumes. When they are submitted through our online response form, we can reach you much more quickly. And, you could miss the window of opportunity for a position because of the processing delay.

Why am I prompted to fill out additional information when I apply for some employment opportunities but not for others?

If we have additional requirements for a specific position or need additional information from you, we include screening questions at the end of the submit resume page. Even if we determine that your current skills and experience don’t match up for a particular position, we still enter you into our searchable database for other future and current positions.

I'd like to be able to include a cover letter with my resume, addressed to the appropriate individual. How can I find out the name of the appropriate individual?

If you would like to include a cover letter, you can paste it in the resume text field after the text of your resume or in the cover letter box provided.

What if a position I am interested in is not listed on the careers page? Can I submit a resume anyway?

Yes. You can use the link on the search page to submit a general resume and apply for one specific position, several positions at once, or submit your resume for general consideration. Once you submit your resume (whether for a specific position or not) you will be in our searchable database and may be considered for other positions other than the one you applied for.

If you need to update your personal information, please consider using our Profile option so you can most easily change or modify your information in our system. This will eliminate the need for multiple submissions of your resume, which could, potentially, slow down the process of identifying you as a candidate for a particular position.

How do I know if you received my resume via the online response form?

Once you have submitted your resume, a pop-up window will appear thanking you for your submission. This is your confirmation that we have received your resume. If a problem occurs during the transmission of your resume, a pop-up window will appear with the error/reason for the problem. You will be asked to re-submit your resume at that time. You will also receive an email confirming our receipt of your resume.

I submitted my resume through the online response form but I'd like to mail it to you just to make sure you received it.

If you received the confirmation message, you can be sure we received your resume. There’s no need to submit your resume more than once. In fact, it could, potentially, slow down the process of identifying you as a candidate for a particular position.

I tried to submit my resume using the online response form but the Web page indicated there was an error. What should I do?

If you are not running on a platform or browser supported by our online response form, you will need to upgrade your system and then revisit our site to apply online. Our online response form supports the following platforms and browsers:

If you are having technical difficulties on this site, please contact Kenexa Technical Support at KRsupport@kenexa.com or contact Kenexa at 781-869-6000

Will I be notified one way or the other if the job is filled or if I make it to the next step in the application process?

If you received the confirmation message, you can be sure we received your resume. We will contact you if/when your skills and qualifications match one of our openings. Due to the large number of candidates interested in Shawmut, it is only possible for us to contact only those whose skills and qualifications most closely suit our needs. It is important not to submit your resume multiple times since this may result in a delay in processing your resume. The only time you may want to send us another copy of your resume is if you have updated information.

How long are job postings generally on the Web site? Are they posted for a specific amount of time, or until the job is filled?

A position remains on our web site until it is filled. Closing dates are listed for some positions. For some roles, particularly those in Construction Operations, we have ongoing needs as a result of our continued growth.
